With Locker Box, Konstantin Grcic has designed for Vitra a practical accessory for carrying all your work utensils at home or in the office, and storing them easily at the end of the day. Available in two sizes, this small, functional and easily transportable storage unit adapts to the new flexible working methods, able to hold everything needed for professional tasks: laptop, keyboard, papers, pens, cables, hard drives, headphones... Locker Box features a simple and robust construction. Two side panels made from recycled plastic are assembled using aluminium tubes. The top tube serves as a handle. A structure of textile panels with welded seams is suspended from the five remaining tubes, forming compartments.
Born in Munich, Germany, in 1965, Konstantin Grcic trained as a cabinetmaker at Parnham College, Dorset, before studying industrial design at the Royal College of Art in London. From 1990 to 1991 he worked in Jasper Morrison's studio in London. In 1991, he set up his own structure in Munich, "Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design", which served as both his workshop and studio. Since then, he has been designing furniture, objects and lamps for renowned manufacturers such as Magis and Flos. An adept of a functionalism that is "contemporary, feasible and concrete", his creations are not simply minimalist, but radical, pure, direct and simple, while never repeating themselves. With the publisher Plank, Konstantin Grcic is experimenting with cantilever seating and has created Miura, a stackable bar stool with sharp lines.
